CHAPTER FIVE

Ceres, a small town north of Vanale overlooking a large river that runs off into the Great Sea. The wagon with the two women rode off deeper into the small town, with Nave and Zelda watching. "Well, they were really nice!" Zelda beamed.

Nave sighed, "The younger one kept looking at me funny."

"She probably thought you were cute or something."

"You think so?" Nave asked, wondering to himself.

"I'm joking, it can't be that." She said slyly and walked off. Nave raised a brow and asked quickly, "Hey, whats that supposed to mean!" he runs after her and slows down beside her.

Zelda glances around them and examines their surroundings, "Hmm…well, for starters you're going to search for a job, and I'm going to find us a room to stay in."

"A job, huh?" Nave muttered, "When will the fun ever end?" he said sarcastically.

The two split up, agreeing to meet up at the docks in two hours.

Zelda was wandering around, looking for a place they could stay in when she saw just what she was looking for: The Ceres Inn House.

Zelda smiles, "Perfect." and steps inside.

Nave, on the other hand stopped in front of another building with a sign that read: The Enchanting Cascade Bar. He smirked, "Perfect." and stepped inside.

Inside, he saw a smoke filled bar, one of the customers held the bartender up by the collar. Nave sees this and raised a brow, "Hey…!" suddenly all the members inside turned to look at him, making him regret making a sound to begin with.

The name sounded so friendly… he thought to himself, thinking of the name of the bar.

He decides to take the initiative, he points dramatically at the man holding the tender, "What do you think you're doing?"

Damn…Worst. Line. Ever. I think the pointing is overdoing it… he thought to himself, and lowered his hand, feeling a bit stupid, but showing no visible signs of backing down. The man sets the tender down and turns to Nave. Right then, Nave could tell that the man was drunk. The man's feet wobbled slightly as he stepped over to him, "Who the hell are you, huh?"

Suddenly, the man threw a punch at Nave…a punch that would never have hit him anyways. Nave watched as the man loses balance and falls flat on his face in front of his boots. Nave blinked. The man didn't move. Seeing this, he decides that the threat was over and walks over to the counter where the tender was standing; the other patrons went back to their own business.

The tender looked grateful, "Thanks, the fellow was a rough drunk…what can get you? The first one's on me."

"Actually, I'm looking for some info," he leans in closer, "about Hyrule's royal family."

The tender thinks for a moment, "Hmm…any member in particular?"

"What of the princess?"

"Well, I haven't heard anything about her," the tender said, "actually the king has been on his usual runs, strengthening public and ally relations and such. He passed through this town on his way to Vanale, which is his final destination before he heads back, for some reason he had been purposely making his trips longer than it has to be. He actually went around the kingdom and made his way through here. It's like he's looking for something…or someone." The tender scratches his chin and looks at Nave for a reaction. Nave smirks and stands up, "Thanks, that's just what I needed to hear."

"Sure thing, come back soon, eh?" the tender shouts after him. Nave gives a lazy wave over his shoulder before exiting.

As Nave walked along the docks, waiting for Zelda, he bumps into someone, "Excuse me." They both said at the same time, Nave turns and looks at the man, their eyes meet for a split second before they both continued on their way, "What a strange green hat." Nave muttered.
